Accenture and CrowdStrike Team up on Security Operations

Accenture and CrowdStrike have launched a collaborative effort combining Accenture’s security services with the CrowdStrike Falcon cybersecurity platform, including SIEM capabilities, to deliver improved cost efficiencies to areas such as security operations (SecOps), continuous threat exposure management, and AI workload protection.

The two companies note that AI-enabled operations can generate massive volumes of data that can pose challenges for security teams to efficiently and effectively detect and respond to threats.

The integrated offering is intended to streamline security workflows into a unified ecosystem that integrates threat prevention, detection and response based on CrowdStrike’s SIEM technology.

“Cybercriminals are infiltrating organizations with alarming sophistication and unprecedented speed,” said Paolo Dal Cin, global lead at Accenture Security. “To combat this, we work closely with organizations to understand their unique cybersecurity needs and tailor solutions to address their specific challenges. By combining our expertise with CrowdStrike’s technology, we can help clients adopt a more proactive and efficient approach to digital defense.”

“Customer demand for Falcon platform adoption, cybersecurity consolidation, and SOC services expertise is driving our market-moving Accenture partnership,” said George Kurtz, founder and CEO, CrowdStrike. “Accenture’s deep expertise with the Falcon platform and SIEM transformation have directly assisted organizations in upleveling their cybersecurity programs from device to cloud to datacenter. Accenture plays a key role in guiding organizations to embrace the AI-native SOC, leaving legacy SIEMs, point products, and manual SOC operations behind for automated, resilient, and machine speed cybersecurity platform controls.”
